Unpublished Autographed Letter Signed as Governor Trenton, NJ, 1798. unbound. 2 pages (front and back), 9 x 7.5 inches, Trenton, New Jersey, July 12, 1798. Written to U.S. Senators John Rutherford and (signer) Richard Stockton, at Philadelphia, concerning State appointments and news of a secret visit by George Washington, in part: "...I find the old General-in-Chief, the good Washington is going to make a tour to Boston; ask anybody, by any means, discover how he will arrive at Trenton, on his nay, if you will oblige me. Try old Tim Peck, McHenry or even the old and good President to find out - but if Major Dandridge is along with the General, present my compliment to him and beg him to acquaint you as far as is consistent with orders...I have a letter from Dr. William Cozens requesting me to recommend him as Adjutant. I know the man to be humble, active, and I believe brave, but his family were the last war the other way. As to his sentiments, I believe they are Federal to the backbone. He is sober and remember, he was a boy when the Revolution began. Shall we judge him by the sins of the father? I answered the address of [Robert] Morris at the Township of Caldwell, taking it by paragraphs..." Light show-through but very easy to read; chipping at bottom margin affecting four words of text. Overall good condition. Revolutionary War patriot and life-long friend of General George Washington. At the age of 39, he was elected the 3rd Governor of New Jersey, serving from 1794 - 1801. In 1779 Howell resigned his commission in the Continental Army so that he could engage in intelligence work for General Washington. After the war he became an early member of the Society of Cincinnati. His Grand-daughter Varina Howell became Mrs. Jefferson Davis - the First Lady of the Confederacy.

Transactions of the Linnean Society. Volume IV London: J. Davis, 1798. Quarto, 22 plates (four with beautiful hand-colouring, one folding), partially unopened; an excellent tall copy, in simple early blue boards, neat repairs to spine. James Edward Smith and Ferdinand Bauer. With an excellent essay and plate depicting the Southern Emu-wren, as well as an important essay illustrated with an engraving by Ferdinand Bauer on 20 new plants from Australia by James Edward Smith, author of the Botany of New Holland.Copies of the first series of the Transactions, published very occasionally between 1791 and 1875, are now quite difficult to find, and are of interest because several include good early notice of Australian natural history: this volume, published in 1798, includes an important essay by James Edward Smith, 'The Characters of Twenty New Genera of Plants', (pp. 213-223) with a fine folding plate depicting the Lambertia formosa drawn by Ferdinand Bauer and engraved by Mackenzie.The most attractive inclusion is certainly the essay by Thomas Davies (c. 1737-1812), a British soldier who saw long service in Canada but retired to England to pursue his natural history pursuits, becoming a member of the Linnean Society and publishing frequently in th Transactions, chiefly as regards the exotic birds he collected. It is interesting to note how many of the birds figured by Latham in his General Synopsis were drawn after specimens in the Davies collection. The essay here relates to a bird newly sent to England, published as 'Account of a New Species of Muscicapa, from New South Wales' (pp. 240-2), with an attractive unsigned plate showing a pair of the "Flycatchers". Davies notes that he had good field notes on the habits of the birds which were found near Sydney and Botany Bay from "Arthur Phillip, Colonel Nepean, and other Gentlemen, who resided some years in New South Wales." The bird was here described for the first time by George Shaw as the Muscicapa malachura, but has since been renamed the Southern Emu-wren or Stipiturus malachurus.These early volumes of the Transactions were a veritable who's-who of English natural historians of the late eighteenth century, and this one includes work by the botanist who sailed with Vancouver, Archibald Menzies, on mosses with accompanying plates (including two from New Zealand); a reminiscence by Aylmer Bourke Lambert, (patron of surgeon John White); as well as the zoologist George Shaw and many others.

A Christmas Box Containing the Following Bagatelles É set to music by Mr. Hook. [With:] Second Volume of Christmas Box. [With:] Hook's Original Christmas Box. Vol. III London: Printed and sold at Bland & Wellers, 1798. First editions. Engraved decorative or allegorical titles, engraved piano and vocal scores throughout. 3 volumes bound in 1 vols. Folio (13 x 9 1/2 in.; 332 x 240 mm). Modern quarter cloth, printed title label on spine. Occasional tears and soiling in bottom margin, stab holes at inner margin. Early inscription (ÒMiss Burstein January 1801") on each title page. All three volumes of the "Christmas Box" of nursery rhymes set to music. This collection of children's favorites predates Sarah Catherine Martin's Comic Adventures of Old Mother Hubbard (1805) and the popularity of nursery rhymes which resulted from that publication. Included here are such well-known rhymes as "Goosy Goosy Gander," "See Saw Margery Daw," "Little Jack Horner Sat in a Corner," "Hey Diddle Diddle The Cat and the Fiddle," "Hot Cross Buns" and many others. Hook (1746-1827) "was a prolific composer in many fields, with an astonishing facility for writing catchy melodies of all kinds" (New Grove 684) and, to judge from his portrait in the New Grove, looked very much like our Santa but without the beard.

With half-titles in each volumes.

Collates complete with the list of plates in Volume V, which states plate 29 "was passed over in the numbering of the plates" which makes the total 173 rather than the 174 listed. Contemporary full calf tooled in gilt. Rebacked to style. Each volume with black morocco spine label, lettered in gilt. Marbled endpapers. Gilt dentelles. All edges marbled. Some foxing, mainly to plates. Boards with a bit of minor scuffing. Overall a very good set. Lavater (1741-1801) "was the last and most influential of the descriptive physiognomists, a class of pseudo-scientists who attempted to ascertain character on the basis of physical features...Von der Physiognomik [1772], an unillustrated twovolume book, was Lavater's first work on the subject; this was later expanded, with the help of Goethe, into the four-volume Physiognomische Fragmente (1775-1778), and further perfected in a French translation, Essais sur la physiognomie...supervised by Lavater himself. Lavater's physiognomy differed from those of his predecessors in that he paid special attention to the structure of the head, particularly the forehead-a form of psychological indexing that exerted some influence on the development of phrenology and brain localization theories in the early nineteenth century. Lavater's work also influenced artists of the period, both in the overall creation of portraits, and in the use of his physiognomical theories to construct individual faces in historical paintings" (Norman Library). Lavater's work on physiognomy was extremely popular, and, by 1810, sixteen German, twenty English, fifteen French, two American, two Russian, one Dutch, and one Italian version had appeared. Among the portraits included are those of Descartes, Locke, Milton, Newton, Vesalius, Voltaire, and George Washington. Garrison and Morton. Norman Library. Osler 3178.

Consequences of a Successfull French Invasion London: J. Gillray, n.d., 1798. Etching; 320 x 360 mm., mounted. The House is adjourned to Botany Bay. The original version of this rare transportation engraving (with both the date and the publishing details scratched through in ink). A later version was issued with other Gillray prints in the 1850s.Stephens in his great catalogue of the British Museum's print collection shows that this is the first of a series of four political satires by Gillray after Dalrymple, and one of a pair depicting government (the other two have agricultural settings). Showing a mad scene in the House of Commons, this is sub-titled "No. 1 Plate 1st. We come to recover your long lost Liberties...". The second such print, more frequently seen, is set in the House of Lords and is sub-titled "No. 1 Plate 2d. We explain the Rights of Man to the Noblesse...".Although recorded and reproduced by Jonathan King in The Other Side of the Coin, we have not found this image listed in standard Australian catalogues though its non-Australian pair seems to be quite well held in institutions.This setting allows this print (only, of the four) to take a satirical look at the decision of the English parliament to create a penal settlement at Botany Bay, in contrast to the atmosphere of reform and concern with civil liberties in the newly created republic of France and in the American colonies. Gillray turns the tables on the politicians of the House of Commons responsible for the Botany Bay decision: French revolutionaries led by Napoleon storm the parliament gagging the Speaker and placing all the Members in chains and dressing them in the garb of convicts. All the symbols of House are destroyed: the mace is smashed, the statutes discarded on the floor, and above the Speaker's chair are the words, "The House is adjourned to Botany Bay - sine die" [Bookseller: Hordern House Rare Books]

ESTC W4507, W4795.; Hills 62; O'Callaghan 1798.1; Sabin 5182. It was issued originally in 40 numbers, commencing June, 1796, at half a dollar a number. Hence the division into volumes is altogether arbitrary. The text is from the Cambridge ed. published by John Baskerville, with an index at the end of Volume II. This Bible represents a step forward in American printing technology. It was the first hot press Bible to be produced. Under this method of printing, the ink was heated during the printing process, causing it to bond more strongly to the paper. [Attributes: Hard Cover] [Bookseller: Sequitur Books]

Memoires d'Hyppolite Clairon, et reflexions sur la declamation theatrale; publies par elle-meme. Paris, F. Buisson, "an VII de la Republique", (1798). Format: 8°.. [4], II, 360 S.. . Dunkelgrüner Chagrinlederband der Zeit mit rotem goldgeprägten Rückenschild und Rückenvergoldung gering beschabt und bestoßen, leicht fleckig, etwas angestaubt.. Erste Ausgabe, die französische Original-Ausgabe. Rarissimum - die "Edition originale"*** Erste Ausgabe, die französische Original-Ausgabe von außergewöhnlicher Seltenheit. Eine zweite, wesentlich häufigere Auflage war gleich im selben Jahr erschienen als "Seconde edition, revue, corrigee et augmentee", eine deutsche unberechtigte Ausgabe kam ebenfalls 1798 heraus und 1822 dann die zumeist heute zitierte und bekannte französische.Autorin ist die geniale Schauspielerin und Opernsängerin Claire Josephe Hippolyte Leris de La Tude (1723-1803), die vor allem unter dem Namen "Mademoiselle Clairon" Weltruhm erlangte und wegen ihrer skandalträchigen, wiewohl überall taktvollen "Erinnerungen" als eine der wenigen Schriftstellerinnen ihrer Zeit die Genderforschung bis heute beschäftigt: "son jeu en etait la perfection, et l'on disait d'elle ce que Dorat exprima si bien dans son poeme de la declaration theatrale: 'Tous, jusqu'a l'art, chez elle a de la verite'. Presque tous les auteurs tragiques de ce temps, Du Belloy, Saurin, Marmontel, Voltaire meme, eurent de grandes obligations a son talent Mlle Clairon avait une figure agreable, et surtout de la physionomie, cette autre beaute essentielle a la scene en 1799 parurent ses 'Memoires', qui firent alors beaucoup de bruit. Quelques anectdotes bizarres, moins authentiques peut-etre que conformes au gout du temps, contribuerent a la vogue de l'ouvrage. Son veritable merite etait dans ses reflexions, pleines de tact, sur l'art theatral et l'analyse des principaux roltes que l'auteur avait joues" (Hoefer).Mademoiselle Clairon debütierte als Soubrette im Alter von 13 Jahren in der italienischen Komödie, trat auch als Tänzerin in der Oper auf und war von 1743-65 ein Star der Comedie Francaise. Von 1769-86 lebte sie als Geliebte des Markgrafen Alexander von Ansbach auf Schloss Triesdorf. Ihre Memoiren sind besonders interessant wegen der vielen Reflexionen über Schauspielkunst und über die Rollen, die ihren Ruhm begründeten. Ihre großen Erfolge errang sie als Darstellerin Voltairscher Dramen, die sie zum ersten Mal im historischen Kostüm spielte. Vorsatz mit zwei älteren Besitzvermerken, kaum gebräunt, insgesamt sehr sauber und durchgehend wohlerhalten. Schön gebundenes Exemplar dieses bemerkenswert seltenen Erstdrucks, der den meisten bedeutenden Bibliotheken fehlt. Cioranescu 19701. Brunet VI, 16203. Vgl. Gay-Lemonnier III, 18.

Reports the preliminary work of the commission appointed to study galvanism, in the spring of 1797. This commission included Couloumb and had the assistance of the Alexander von Humboldt. By the time the commission garthered, Galvani had already done his utmost to establish animal electricity for which he made the first claims in 1791 (Garrison-Morton 593). He had offered proof of purely biological transmission of electricity to counter Volta in 1794 and 1797, while Volta continued to insist on contact electricity and worked his way up to the first electric battery.

Nachricht von der wahren Beschaffenheit des nächtlichen Gepolters in Tegel bei Berlin im Jahr 1797. Aus dem darüber geführten Protokoll der Herren Justizamtmann Cöler, Prediger Herbst, Oberbergrath Karsten; Professor Klaproth; Geh. Postsekretair Otto; Oberkonsistorialrath Zöllner. Zweyte verbesserte Auflage Berlin, Carl August Nicolai, Sohn, Buchhändler in der heil. Geiststraße im goldenen Arm, 1798.. 24 S. Pappband d. Zt. Berlin-Bibliographie I, 812. - Bericht über ein Poltergeist-Phänomen in Tegel, den Friedrich Nicolai zuerst im November 1797 in den Berlinischen Blättern veröffentlichte: Angeblich wäre im Haus des Oberförsters Schulz bei Mondscheinnächten ein unerklärliches Gepolter zu vernehmen. Das Gerücht darüber hatte sich zuvor schon schnell unter der Berliner Bevölkerung verbreitet, so dass die feinen Mitglieder der Gesellschaft Naturforschender Freunde zu Berlin am 13. September und 2. Oktober 1797 zur Geisterjagd aufbrachen. Die Ghostbusters fanden schnell eine rationale Erklärung, der Vorfall wäre auch bald vergessen worden, hätte nicht Goethe von einem Auftritt Nicolais 1799 vor der Berliner Akademie der Wissenschaften erfahren: Der große Aufklärer und Verleger Friedrich Nicolai berichtete von "nervösen Störungen", die bei ihm 1791 auftraten und in deren Folge er Geistererscheinungen (Phantasmen) hatte. Seine Heilung führt er auf das Ansetzen von Blutegeln am After zurück. In diesem Zusammenhang erwähnte er auch den "Spuk von Tegel" als weiteres Beispiel von Phantasmen. - Goethe war Nicolai seit dessen Parodie auf die Leiden des jungen Werthers ("Freuden des jungen Werthers", 1775) in herzlicher Abneigung verbunden, die Bekenntnisse Nicolais lieferten ihm eine Steilvorlage: Goethe lässt Nicolai im Faust, in der Szene Walpurgisnacht, als "Proktophantasmist?" (Steißgeisterseher) auftreten: "Ihr seid noch immer da! Nein, das ist unerhört. Verschwindet doch! Wir haben ja aufgeklärt! Das Teufelspack, es fragt nach keiner Regel. Wir sind so klug, und dennoch spukt`s in Tegel. Wie lange hab` ich nicht am Wahn hinausgekehrt, Und nie wird`s rein; das ist doch unerhört!" - Mephistopheles antwortet darauf: "Er wird sich gleich in eine Pfütze setzen, Das ist die Art, wie er sich soulagiert, Und wenn Blutegel sich an seinem Steiß ergetzen, Ist er von Geistern und von Geist kuriert". - - - Etwas berieben.

Instructions for cutting out apparel for the poor. . . with 13 folding plates of clothing patterns. J. Walter, London 1798 - Instructions for cutting out apparel for the poor. . . With 13 Engraved Plates of Clothing Patterns Instructions for cutting out apparel for the poor; principally intended for the assistance of the patronesses of Sunday schools, and other charitable institutions. . . . 8vo. xii, 85 [7]pp. 13 folding engraved plates of clothing patterns. London: J. Walter, 1789 [imprint lined out, with ms. correction below: Sold at the Parliament Office / Old Palace Yard]. Gilt-ruled calf c. 1789, a little rubbed, rebacked, endpapers renewed. Title-leaf silked, some edges of plates a trifle soiled and frayed, insignificant foxing and dampstaining. Very good copy. First Edition. This very rare work on methods and costs of producing affordable clothing for poor children, addressed to "Patronesses of Sunday Schools," is one of the products of the Sunday school movement, which spread rapidly throughout Britain after the philanthropist Robert Raikes (1736-1811) established the first Sunday school in Gloucester in 1783. The book describes the charitable program established at Hertingfordbury in the county of Hertfordshire, involving the town's two Sunday schools and two day schools or "Schools of Industry." In order to encourage the poor to send their children to the Sunday schools, a small portion of the charitably supported Sunday School Fund was used to purchase the raw materials (cloth, yarn, ribbon, sewing and knitting needles, etc.) for various items of clothing; these were then transformed into finished goods by the female students at the School of Industry, and offered for sale to the families of Sunday school students at a reduced price. The system was supposed to provide clothing for Sunday school students at about half of what it would ordinarily cost, plus provide the girls at the School of Industry with the training necessary to become "good servants, and useful mothers to families of their own." Quantities, types and prices of a great number of materials and finished goods are given, plus instructions and actual patterns for making various types of clothing. Very rare in commerce: When we checked OCLC cited six copies in North American libraries (ICU, MH-BA, NBuG, ICN, CaOHM, DSI). Kress B.1634. Goldsmiths 13970.

CHARTS AND PLATES TO LA PEROUSE'S VOYAGE London: G.G. & J. Robinson, 1798.. Engraved titlepage and [2]pp. text, plus portrait and sixty-eight (of sixty-nine) plates and maps. Lacks the large folding map. Folio. Contemporary speckled calf, gilt, leather label, neatly rebacked with original spine laid down. Some minor foxing, else very good. The atlas volume to the first English edition of La Pérouse's A VOYAGE ROUND THE WORLD..., without the large folding map, as is usually the case. "La Pérouse's expedition was one of the most important scientific explorations ever undertaken to the Pacific and the west coast of North America....The charge to the expedition [which took place between 1785 and 1788] was to examine such parts of the region as had not been explored by Captain Cook; to seek for an interoceanic passage; to make scientific observations on the various countries, peoples, and products; to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of Spanish settlements in California; and to promote the inducements for French enterprise in that quarter....La Pérouse and his men did important geographical research....The voyage also included the first foreign scientific group ever to visit Alta California [two of the plates depict a bee-eater and a male and female partridge of California. There are also maps and plans of San Francisco, Monterey, and San Diego]....La Pérouse sent dispatches back to France from Kamchatka and Botany Bay. The two ships then set sail from Botany Bay, in 1788, and were never heard from again" - Hill. It was not until the 1820s that the wrecks of his ships were discovered on a reef in the Santa Cruz group. Among the most significant results of the voyage are the series of charts that were produced as a result of the expedition's surveys of Asiatic side of the Pacific; and the ethnographic details of "the peculiarities [La Pérouse]...observed in the natives of the northwest coast of North America" (Sabin). In addition, he was the first westerner to safely navigate and chart the Japan Sea and the strait between the island of Sakhalin and the northernmost island of Japan. En route for Australia in 1788, La Pérouse sailed via Samoa, where he discovered the islands of Apolima, Manono, and Savaii. The atlas provides a fascinating pictorial record of this important voyage. HILL 975. HOWES L93, "b." WAGNER NORTHWEST COAST 837-848, pp.199-201. ZAMORANO 80, 49. FERGUSON 288. TPL 596. COWAN, p.383.

He practiced law in New York City, moved to Poughkeepsie, New York in 1793, and then returned to New York in 1796. From 1798 to 1801, he was Assistant Attorney General for the First District, comprising Suffolk, Queens, Kings, Richmond and Westchester counties. From 1810 to 1811, he was District Attorney of the First District, comprising the above mentioned counties and New York County. He became a Colonel of Volunteers in the War of 1812. In 1815 Cadwallader D. Colden was president of the New York Manumission Society, established in 1785 to promote the abolition of slavery in the state, and oversaw the rebuilding of the Society’s African Free School in New York City. Later historians cited the energetic aid of Colden, Peter A. Jay, William Jay, Governor Tompkins, and others in influencing the Legislature to set the date of July 4, 1827, for the entire abolition of slavery in New York. He was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1818, and the 54th Mayor of New York City from 1818 to 1821, appointed by Governor DeWit Clinton of New York. He successfully contested the election of Peter Sharpe to the 17th United States Congress and served from December 12, 1821, to March 3, 1823. He was a member of the New York State Senate (1st District) from 1825 to 1827, when he resigned. The Laws include an Act validating Quakers' manumissions of slaves, even where such manumissions did not conform to prescribed legal procedures; an Act incorporating the firemen of the City of New York; an Act permitting aliens to purchase land in the State, under certain conditions; and a host of other Acts dealing with courts, corporations, municipalities, and other matters.

Alphabet arabe, turk et persan, a l'usage de l'imprimerie orientale et francaise. Alexandria, Imprimerie orientale et francaise, an VI [1798].. Small 4to. 16 pp. Modern brown half calf with red label to giltstamped spine, bound to style.. The first book ever printed in Egypt, unquestionably the rarest and most important of the early books printed in the Middle East, published in the very year when modern printing was introduced to the Arab world. Only in October 1798 did J. J. Marcel arrive in Cairo with his employees and types to organize the Imprimerie Orientale. "The expedition of Napoleon Bonaparte to Egypt from 1798 until 1801 was a prelude to modernity. It was to change permanently the traditional Arab world [...] The French brought Arabic typography to Egypt, where it was practised under the supervision [...] of Jean Joseph Marcel [...]. Only a few days after the French troops landed [...] they set up the Imprimerie Orientale et Francaise there. It was an extraordinarily important turning point. For, leaving aside the Hebrew printing presses in Egypt of the 16th to the 18th centuries, until this date announcements and news adressed to Arabs there, as well as in other parts of the Arab-Islamic world, had been spread only in hand-writing or orally, by criers, preachers or storytellers" (Glass/Roper). - Slightly spotty in places, but well preserved.
